[Machilipatnam]

Lakshmi...!

Lakshmi!

LAKSHMI!

LAKSHMI!

-Good Morning!
-Morning deepu...

Lemon tea is by the oven

Drink it while it's hot

Ok... Thank you baby

Hello madam...

Can we finally see Jaya Krishna today?



Waiting for the good news

I'm eager to see him

Good luck!

[A male voice]
-Deepu...

Sorry.... Wrong number.

-Deepu... Listen to me!

Wrong number.
Stop bugging me!

[Tearful female voice]
-Deepu...

Tell me...

-Your father is...
[sobbing]

When did this happen?

-He suddenly collapsed last night...

-We rushed him to the hospital.

-It was a heart attack.



Hey...Your dad?

-He passed away 10 minutes ago...

-Please come home now...

Alright. I will.

You book the tickets...
I'll pack our bags

-Deepu...
-Hmmm

Why aren't you crying?

I did try when we were back home...

I just couldn't

What are you thinking?

You're the therapist

You tell me...

It's a condition caused due to trauma

Zero emotions

She just thinks she's normal

She just can't see what's wrong.

I've never seen her cry...

I haven't seen joy in her.

How do I tell her that
she's not normal?

Do you need to?

Chandu...

Wanting to see your wife cry...

Doesn't make you a bad person

Took you 7 years to finally
come see me again!

My father's dead.

Huh?

You heard that right.

My father is dead

How?

How much longer?

Cremation is at noon.

Deepu...

What is this girl doing?

Um... Deepu...

Deepu...

They're having their school's
annual day program...

School belongs to MLA sir

We can't get them to stop the songs

Deepu...

Deepu... Get up

Up

Get up!

What are you doing?

What's that Chiranjeevi movie
directed by Jandhyala?

Sir.. Please be calm...

Do you know it or not?

Hey!

Sir sir... Don't react. Please sir.

Sir.. Just come here.

Deepu what is this?

Why are you doing this Deepu?

'Ba'

Huh?

Third alphabet is 'Ba'

Do you know the movie?

Chantabbaai...

I'm feeling bored!

Paddu.. let's go.

Deepu...

Deepu...!

Where are you going?

Deepu...

Deepu!

I want to see his house

Are you sure?

I'll be back after I get his photo. Ok?

Alright

Don't over think it!

I haven't gone mad

It's all good.

How have you been?

Oh nothing much...

Had to quit studying
after I got married.

Shifted to Gudivada.

We were there for 3 years

We shifted back recently...

I met Roja last year

She told me everything...

Your husband seems like a gentleman

He just let you go..

He knows everything.

Really?

You cannot hide away everything
from your life partner...

He saw my tattoo

What did he say?

I told him everything

He lovingly consoled me...

That's good...

Why are we going to
Krishna's house now?

I'll tell you

You want a soda?

Taste's just the same

Somethings never change

-It's 2005! Why is your moron father
still obsessing about colour?

Don't you talk about
my dad like that!

Try to understand Deepu...

My dad's black, naturally I am too...

Hi

I'm Deepthi

I'm Deepika

Murali..

So... You're lovers?

Yes

Are you going somewhere?

Or just going away?

We're eloping.

Stay quite!

Careful...

What's the issue?

We've been in love since college

Her parents aren't ok with it...

They found another groom for her

American groom?

No. Australia.

Oh it's all the same in the end.

Did they tell you that he
has a six figure salary,

He's fair

And you're life's set
if you marry him?

Listen

They must be the groom's relatives

Let's go

No no...

Your story is similar to mine.

This happened to you too?

This happens to almost everybody.

Deepu...

What did you do?

Listen to me.. Just let it go...

You're here already...?

Ya ya...

You're going to do this everyday?

I have to uncle...

Are you getting enough sleep?

Ya ya..

Wash them properly or
they'll start stinking

If you keep up your milk
route everyday

Won't you be late for your classes?

No worries, this college belongs
to my uncle!

Quit pulling my leg.

I'm a watchman, not the principal.

Did you eat anything?

I did. What about you?

I will.

Take care of the cans.
I'll pick them up in the evening.

Alright

Study hard son.

Remember this uncle.

This college will always
remember Jaya Krishna!

Engineering is not a joke

Is that so?

Of course.

Until last year,

You needed a rank below
10,000 for a seat...

The new CM has given permission
for new colleges now.

So many colleges have mushroomed up.

That's why our boy got a nice seat.

Everything happens for a reason.

The boy found a good college.

You have no clue really...

Kittu...

You must study hard
and come up in life.

Oh I will...

I don't have knee pains like you...

What is that tone?

Respect your elders

Is that how you talk to your uncle?

Dump your rubbish elsewhere then...

Not at my house.

I'm telling this for
your sake only...

If you don't study now,

All that you've worked for till
now will be wasted.

Day old food might be useless to us.

Feed it to cattle and they'll
happily eat it up.

Dirty water may not quench
our thirst.

But it can put out a fire.

Nothing in this world
goes waste uncle...

Everything can be used
one way or another.

You've learned to be
argumentative boy!

Uncle,

After 10 years,

When I've achieved something in life,

You will want to take
a picture with me.

Then my father will inform you
that I'm not at all free...

What are you laughing at?

Don't you have any work to do?
Come on...

-See you later
-Ya..

Sister-in-law...

Coffee...!

It will cost you.

How much?

5 minutes...

-Is he still getting ready?

No chance!

His romance with the mirror
will never end

We woke up at the same time

I got ready,

cleaned the house

and even finished cooking breakfast.

He's not yet done...

People say women spend too much
time in front of the mirror...

Somehow he manages to
make us feel normal...

Look.. Look...

-Listen,
-Hmm

If you hadn't quit your government
job to marry my brother,

You could have gone
jogging instead of him...

Oh forget about that...

Where does he go jogging everyday?

I haven't been able to
figure it out yet.

Maybe he isn't going jogging?

Maybe he's going somewhere else...

Don't you ever doubt him?

No way.

He can go to any lengths
to maintain his looks.

Hey...

How are you brother?

Did your father leave
for the office?

He went to the station long back.

Walk with me...

I heard you're involved in
some love affair...

Did you tell your father?

I couldn't brother...

I'm not finding the courage
to tell him.

What am I for?

You want me to tell him?

-Really?
-Hmmm

What's the boy's name?

Abhi... Abhiram.

Tell me about him...

He's our temple priest's son...

Oh now I see...

That's why you're at
the temple everyday...

Devotion is an added benefit
to love apparently...

So the priest's son you say...

Doesn't seem favorable to me...

Every body gets half a coconut,

This boy probably gets
just an extra half...

Dad will not agree...

Is he educated?

Yes. He's a degree holder.

Oh... Degree is it?

Degree holders are very
common nowadays.

Very hard to convince your dad...

Any other qualifications?

He's the captain of our
district cricket team.

Cricket!

Cricket...

Sport...

Not a standard job...

Anything else?

He'll get a job in the sports quota.

He's preparing for next
month's tournament.

He will definitely do well.

Then we can talk to dad about him...

He may find a job in the
handicapped quota...

But your dad may not
yet agree to this...

No no.. you're mistaken.

He's the captain of his cricket team.

He's not handicapped.

No dear... I'm sure.

He is indeed handicapped.

No chance brother...

What do you know?

I broke his hand.
I should know.

You met him yesterday
in the morning.

I saw him last night.

Take him anywhere you
want in the world...

His hand will remain useless now.

It's my guarantee. Ok?

You cannot find another boy
as good as him...

Please brother...

My dear,

In the year 1969,

a man named Neil Armstrong,

Underwent a lot of struggle,

to set foot on the moon.

But you kids still believe
sky is the limit...

You are happy with the sky...

We want you to have the stars.

And that's why you MUST
listen to your elders...

Marry the guy your dad chose for you.

All will be well.

Thank you sir.

You managed to scare some
sense into my daughter.

Mr Ramesh,

A guy with a girl child,

and a guy standing on
a beach like this,

Are very much alike.

You think that the water is
comes in to coolly wash our feet...

But without you even noticing,

The water easily steals the
sand beneath our feet.

These wastrel guys these days,

Show the sweet illusion of love

And steal our girls away.

Yes sir.

The sea,

The trees,

Bushes,

Kids jump the moment they see these.

Yes sir.

Even this beach is a
popular lovers' spot.

We must protect our
nature at all costs.

We will.

Keep an eye on this place.

Ok sir.

Lift it up...

Down a bit...

Up

Smile

Heh...

What is that expression?

How does it look?

You look like a ghost whisperer...

Hang on... I'm coming.

Little to the right...

Look down... Down...

Smile

Mouth closed...

You childish F....

Bro...

What are you saying?

Nothing... I said you look like
a cute little puppy...

It's just in a different language...

Smile now...

Nobody can light a frame like I do...

You sure it's going to
be a decent picture?

When you die...

This will be the picture
used at your memorial!

Ask me then if it's decent...
I'll refund your money otherwise...

Samuel Naidu...

Samuel Naidu

Balu...

Your dad isn't in yet?

No.. Why?

Oh nothing...

Our police photographer has jaundice...

Need you dad to come
click a few pictures

Hey... I can do that for you...

You?

Do you need my dad
or the pictures...?

Ok... Let's go.

Hang on...

Uncle...

Uncle...

Am I supposed to get on this now?

And pedal it too...

Come on...

Hold this...

Couldn't you have brought the jeep?

I will...

Do some dumb thing and get caught

You can then ride along in the jeep.

You will never get that chance...

Why is he so cranky always?

Hello sir.

How did it happen?

He drank pesticide & hung himself...

Hanging didn't work...

Pesticide did...

I'm scared of dead bodies...
I can't take this picture.

-Let me go...
-Wait... wait...

We don't have another
photographer...

This needs to go to press

So my pictures will be in the papers...?

Yes...

50 rupees...

30...

Do I get picture credits at least?

You know.. I think this
might be a murder...

I'll give you credit for that...
Do it for free...

No thanks...

Just buy me a soda on our way back...

Get on with it...

The light on this guy is bad...

Shut up man...

His photo is going to be
in the paper tomorrow...

Did he ever imagine that
would happen in his life?

This way... Turn...

Hey...

Why were you trying to light
up the dead guy dumbo?

Be thankful he didn't throw some
powder on the dead guy...

You should have carried him to
your studio to take proper pictures...

Think this is funny?

Right from childhood I
always favored you,

Because you're my best friend...

That was my mistake...

Useless fellows....

[Humming the hymns]

Wait a minute...

We haven't practiced the
climax portion of the song....

Ya... I'll take care of that...

I'll be leading that section.

Oh...

But I thought I was playing
the goddess...

You?

I've been doing this since I was 12

But nobody told us about this...

We thought Deepthi would play
the goddess' part better...

No no... I have to do it...

Everybody I know says I look
good in the costume...

Then... Let's do a look test to decide.

Ya... Let's do that.

You go first...

I'll show you the best later...

Movies are so misleading man...

There isn't one pretty
girl in our college

True... Not even one...

But there's this girl,
Padma, in electronics...

Her eyes man...

They're as bright as a 100 candles...

Wow...

You tollbooth make a great pair

Just like watching a
black & white movie...

No no... Gulab jamun... Rasagulla...

A sweet love story...

Don't crack jokes on me man...

I'm warning you...

And you...

Do you like someone?

You know Sunitha from our class?

Wait... Her?

Do you know her EAMCET rank?

Have you heard her speak English?

Feels like she was
born to a Britisher...

Imagine us speaking English...

Feels like we are trying to take
revenge on the Britishers...

So...

You...?

That girl...?

Lets see you speak in
English for a minute...

Stop it!

That is your range...

The moment you see a girl
is when it rises...

What is 'it'?

Hairs on your body...

-Thumps or bumps it's called...
-Goodpumps...

Yes... Goodpumps... Goodpumps...

That... That's the feeling.

Where's the matchbox man?

Matchbox...

Let's get it from the terrace...

From where the seniors smoke...

Let's bring that one...

True... Now go get it...

No way man...

You're the closest to the terrace...
Go get it...

There.. There...

Don't let the seniors see you..
You'll be ragged...

Need to tolerate those guys
until the freshers party...

It's just a little ragging man...

Nobody will object until
the freshers party...

Where's the matchbox?

The matchbox... Where did you put it?

After you go home...

Make sure to ward off any evil eyes...

Why are you here?

I came for you...

You never hang out here..
Except when my mom makes prawn curry...

Why are you here so much nowadays?

Everybody has four friends in life...

One who teaches you habits...

One who loans you money when in need,

One who grows along with you,

-And then...
-It's too tight let it be...

The one who helps
with our love affair...

I see all 4 of them in you Balu...

Hey!

Doesn't matter how much you scrub...

Buffaloes don't turn into oxes...

Do something useful...

BTW, I have a doubt...

Did you love him too, then?

Nothing like that...

But he did catch my eye...

But I did hear a lot about him...

He delivered milk to homes before
coming to college everyday...

I used to look for him soon
as I entered the college...

Milk cans outside the watchman's
quarters meant that,

Krishna was in college that day.

-So you were interested...?
-Actually...

Look boy...

Just like guy are addicted
to smoking & drinking...

Girls have an addiction too...?
You know?

No

If we catch a guy looking at us...

All we're worried about is if
they're still looking at us...

Hate when that happens....

-You tell me sister...
-Sister?

Did he propose to you?

He would've...

But...

Unfortunately...

Dude! Why did you bring
her to the college man?

Just 5 minutes man... Hold on...

Listen to me...

Are any students leaving
the campus in class hours?

No sir..

Keep an eye on the fields
behind the college...

Ok sir...

Because of Liquor prohibition,

Kids are mixing tablets in cool drinks
and drinking them..

Childish idiots.

That farmer keeps complaining to me...

I will tell them sir...

Also,

Some of there are smoking
on the terrace...

One of our lecturers
complained to me...

Sir, I'll make sure it doesn't
happen again...

What will you make sure?

How I do I know more about
this than you?

Sir...

-Come let's go up...
-Sir...

Which year?

Second year sir....

What are you dong here?

We came for the duster sir...

-What?
-Duster...

You're here for the duster
are you... morons?

Sir...

Look at that properly....

Sorry sir...

You...

Bring your parents tomorrow...

What's happening here?

I was talking to my girlfriend sir...

Girlfriend?

Is this a college or a public park?

Please sir.. Sir...

-Come on...
-Sir.. Please no!

Sir.. Insulting me in front of
everyone, like this,

It's just wrong...

I will have to call my dad...

Oh..?

Standing here is humiliating you?

Ok... Sit down...

Sir..?

SIT DOWN!

Why are you sitting down?

Up... Get up!

Sit on this chair

Sir...?

Sit on this chair for 5 minutes...
I'll let you leave...

Relax...

You said 5 minutes...

You made me sit for nearly 15...

This Si cheating sir...

15 minutes?

Do you know how long you really stood?

2 minutes and 15 seconds...

The punishments will only
get worse from here...

Go!

Go to your classes!

The whole college is talking
about one thing only...

Why did that old giraffe
humiliate you publicly...?

Turning into a good
guy takes time...

Becoming a hero is easy...

You just need a fool to pick on...

I need a bloody lab monkey...

The whole deal is...

Neither the public nor
the monkey should know...

That I'm playing them...

You need to go catch such monkeys

They will not come looking for you...

Bro...

You... Get lost man...

Urgent bro.. I'll be out right away

Hey... Don't you get it?

Get lost man...

I won't disturb you bro...
Please understand.

Who's you bro here?

Were you born to my dad or something?

Can't you hold it in?

Get lost!

Sorry sir...

We need a coward like him...

Why just 'like' him...?

-How about him?
-Right...

We found our black monkey...

Where are the others?

They're on their way...

What is this...?

We did one good show
for the fresher's party...

They want us to do the opening act
at every event now...

This is too much...

I think we need to keep driving
these functions up from now...

No way things move
along without us...

Moreover, our place is
very much secure...

Let's head to the canteen
after practice...

I want a limca...

Why do you have that?

That's mine...

The lead dancer wears red...

Yes... The lead dancer wears red...

You rascal!

You bloody blacky wastrel...

-How dare you harass girls!
-Sir I really didn't do it on purpose

-Eh come on...
-I swear.. someone pushed me

-Keep walking!
-Everyone is looking at us...

Why would I do something like this?

Blacky rascal!

Everyone is watching...
Please let it go....

I really didn't...

Please bro...

Blacky wastrel...

How dare you tease girls?

How dare you tease girls...

You dare tease girls?

Someone pushed me...
I didn't go in on purpose...

Please bro...

Don't hit me...

Please bro...

I'm not someone like that...

Out of my way!

Stop it...

Dharma stop!

I believe our college is a temple...

Lovers may enter this
temple sometimes...

Eve-teasing rogues like
this one should not...

Just look at him...

Him and his stupid face...

If you punish him..
he will be wary next time

And try to not get caught...

But when someone like me reacts...

He will think twice before doing
something wrong again...

If you still think I did
something wrong...

Please forgive me...

Hey! Stop that song first!

Dude...

Think your uncle told
your dad already?

No he won't... I begged him not to.

That's why I brought him to
your room instead of home...

I think those guys planned to create
a scene...This seems like a grudge

What happened to you dude?

You didn't notice...

He kept on calling me
'Blacky' repeatedly...

Does that mean fair looking guys
can never do anything wrong?

Skin colour doesn't matter...

A mistake is a mistake...

Are you sad because he
called you 'Blacky'?

-Or that he beat you for no reason?
-It wasn't my fault dude...

What's in skin colour anyway...?

A good heart is all you need...

Don't talk rubbish...

If a good heart was just enough

Why do you have that
tube in your room?

Buddy... I heard the
seniors talking today....

Dharma did this on purpose
to humiliate you...

That rascal!

I thought such wastrels
exist only in cinemas...

They are real then....

Fiction is inspired from fact dude...

Look dude...

Don't go seeking revenge and
hitting them or something...

You're not Chiranjeevi
to pull it off...

I forbid you!

-Hmmm.
-I'll whack you! What do you mean 'Hmm'?

Swear on me....

Why will I go hit him man?

Swear that you won't hit anybody...

You over-excited moron!

If you don't mind, can I ask
you something?

Did you love someone in college
or something?

Go to sleep Deepu... You have exams.

Did someone manage to impress you?

Impressing is easy...

Sticking around through everything
is the hard part...

Gotcha! Tell me...

Have you heard of the love bug?

What do you think is the
lifespan of an ant...?

45 days?

15 years...

Yet we kill that poor ant in
fraction of seconds....

Love can be like that some times...

Only the ant knows the
pain of getting crushed

Do you feel bad about it now?

Are you happy with my brother?

Little fights are common
in any marriage...

Some end with words...

Some lead to the belt...

At night, they need us again...

Cigarette stench,

Alcohol,

You need to put up with it all...

Everything's back to
normal in the morning.

Maybe this wouldn't happen if we
actually love the guy we marry...

Rubbish..

Love or arranged marriage,

Once you're married,
it's all the same...

With so many issues in a marriage...

The act of marrying someone shouldn't
become too much of a bother...

That's why... A few sacrifices
need to be done

Is it easy to forget?

Not at all...

But we don't even get the
time to think about it...

With guys...

After their love fails and
until they marry someone else,

They drink & narrate their stories
to anyone who'd listen...

Their friends console them...

Doesn't work that way with us...

By the time we even realise
that our love failed...

We're already being married off...

Our friends come congratulate us...

Thinking about another man once
you're married is a 'sin' too...

Naturally...

Moreover,

It's always males like this
who make movies about themselves...

Our stories sadly remain unheard...

Ok... one last question...

According to you,

What is love?

Making sure the person we love,

is put beyond above
anything else imaginable

is what true love means...

Go to sleep now...

Good morning sir...

Name?

Jay Krishna sir...

Mechanical branch

Your wounds healed ok?

I'm fine sir... I'll heal.

These girls told me everything...

Sometimes, for no fault of ours,

we keep getting hurt.

People call it an accident.

Just think of this as an accident
and forget it.

Krishna...

The walls of this office room

Have heard me issuing warnings...

For the first time,

I'm giving you an assurance
of safety instead

Don't worry about it... Ok?

Thank you sir...

BTW,

You gave a speech about higher studies
in your 1st year

I heard it & liked it.

I like your confidence...

I will ask you to make a speech
at one of the upcoming events...

-Ok?
-Ok sir...

You people can leave now...

Krishna...

Jaya Krishna..

What did we do to you?

Why are you avoiding us?

We even cleared your name
with the principal...

This behavior is hurtful

Humiliation in front of 100 people,

Cannot be forgotten with a small
apology in front of a few people.

This is my reputation here...

Good things happen to good people.

Please tell your
philosophies elsewhere

No need...

Don't say this to anyone.

Your guy seems to
be a little too soft...

Takes time...

Every cocoon transforms into
a beautiful butterfly...

Just takes a little time.

Duryodhana.. Dirty...!

You're not Bhima,

You're Jambavan

Alright

I wasn't allowed to fully present
my talents all these days...

It is finally time,

For everyone to talk
about my performance

Doesn't matter what you do,
people will only talk about me

Jambavan is an important character too.
People will talk about me!

Petrol & Diesel are sold together,
but its still called a Petrol Bunk...

Look, O Sugriva, at his
sudden witty retorts...

Our once-upon-a-time character actor
is suddenly very chirpy

because he's finally doing
the main character...

You're right...

He thinks he's the hero now...

Dude I'm not the protagonist,
just a plot element...

Ya ya... I can see that...

Anyway, it's time to practice. Come on.

Ready?

Ready.

-Shall we?
-Ya...

Hanuma...

Yes Jamba...

You're going to Lanka to
rescue Sita Devi...

Be careful

Definitely...

The moment you're in any trouble

Our Vanarasena,

Will burst through darkness
to come to your aid.

I'm blessed Jamba!

Hey Ravana!

Our man is on his way...

He will come smash your Stick!

Hey!

What?

That's what the dialogue was man!

What the hell man...

Everything you say sounds
like a cuss word.

-What the hell man....
-Balu...

-Come here
-Where're you going? We're late.

Balu...

Why are you swearing so much
in this getup dude?

Fine. I won't say it again.

Never use this language again man...

People start looking down on you...

Sorry dude. If I bother you so much...

People have been complaining to me

I can't talk without cussing dude!
Sorry I just can't...

Can't you do it for me?

I might be able to manage
without eating,

But I cannot survive without cussing

No. I need you to swear on me...

Fine...

I'll teach you a hack

If you ever feel like cussing again,

Stop the cuss word mid way and
shift to a similar sounding word

This seems like it could work.

Why are these guys here?

These guys are performing
before us tomorrow...

Hey!

You...

Can't you see a senior is calling?
Come here

We were just calling
you a black monkey for fun

Now you dressed up as one.

Only the snout is missing...
Curry point.

Ya look like you work there...
Why did you quit?

Hey! We're Britishers man.

Oh that's what the costume was?

Must be a British catering service...

Bro...

Just let it be...

I will kill you

Kittu...

Come here...

Dude! What's wrong with you?

I'm controlling my anger.

Why?

I promised you that I won't hit them...

Look at me...

Stop!

The promise,

Hit them now...!

You're a dead man...

Why does he want another beating?

How dare you hit a senior man!

Dude!

Don't touch him until the power returns,

I want him to clearly see our
faces when it happens

Ok

Why isn't anyone wearing
the monkey snouts?

Snouts aren't important

It's clobbering time.

Hanuma...

Yes Jamba...

The time to break some sticks
is finally here!

"Blacky wastrel" Am i?

You British beggar!

That was a nice beating...

Is this yours?

You useless piece of crap.

Dharma,

The moment we stop caring
about your age,

There's no more senior & junior.

If you poke our ego,

Don't even care who you are...

Nonsense!

Him & I are the same?

I come to college in my own car,

He roams around selling milk
on a cycle every morning,

We're the same?

Get lot you useless piece of crap.

True,

You're here because your father has
money to throw away for you,

I'm here because of my rank & merit.

How can we be the same?

No way...

You cannot afford to buy even a
matchbox on your own...

-What a crappy life man!
-Hey!

Don't bring my father into this....

Your dad shouldn't have
gone home that night...

Kittu...

What are you saying?

You asked me to stop cussing.
What is this?

His dad really wasn’t home that night..

-You!

No no guys, calm down.

His dad is great. I know.

He's taking care of some random neighbor’s kid.

-His dad really is great...
-Look, I'm warning you...

Dharma..

Wards can wars they say...

But then imagine having
a war of words...

Just like this isn't it?

You can't even pluck a
single hair from my head...

Kittu wait... My turn now.

Go on...

He's decent so he spoke
about hair on your head.

You know well what I would call you....

I....

I'm hungry man... Lets go.

Hey Krishna!

You'll have it soon...

-Why? Don't you?

How many more times will you get trolled?

Hello...

Hi

Did you check the first year results?

What's your percentage?

71%

I got 91%

Very nice...

Was it attendance?

No... Percentage

So... I topped the college

I want to give a small treat.

Why don't you come...

I will...

It's at 5 in the evening.
Right after college.

Don't forget.

-You must come. Ok? bye
-Ok

Why didn't you come yesterday?

Our buffalo delivered a baby...

I stayed back with her
for moral support.

I couldn't make it.

Sorry...

Ok.

Come to the canteen for lunch today.

Party.

For you...

I will be there....

Why are you playing with me?

How did you know I'd be here?

Your cycle Tyre is punctured,

Where else would you go?

How did you know about my cycle?

Because I punctured your damn cycle Tyre.

You can simply say so if you
do not wish to come.

But what you're doing is humiliating...

Why don't you say a word?

I know..

You've been behind me since a year

I thought you were a nice guy,

You weren't harassing me like
those stupid move guys,

I had a good opinion on you.

I saved you with the principal thing...

Forget about thanking me...

You threw an arrogant look at me...

I hoped to talk and
clear it up with you,

That's why the party...

But you didn't show...

I asked you to meet me in
the canteen today,

You don't even care about it...

I haven't even eaten anything yet.

Learn to respect other
people's feelings

I had a little sympathy on you...

But you needed to show off...

Wait...

Hang on...

I've been watching from so long...

You have been jabbering...

I have to care for your sympathies?

Who the hell asked for
your sympathies?

Sympathy is for beggars and
handicapped people,

That's not the feeling I'm interested in.

You assumed I'm dying
to talk to you?

Do I look like a beggar?

What do you think of me?

Tell me this..

Do I need to come running
the moment you call?

What's with the demands?

Canteen, Party...

Imagine this in reverse,
a guy doing it to a girl...

He'd have been thrown in jail

Are you crying?

Then what was that till now?

That wasn't you!

Oh what then,

Do you know how I planned to
meet you for the first time?

Sand,

Sea,

Wind,

And now,

Dirt,

Bus stop...

You know your birthday banner,

The one your parents had printed...

What happened to it?

-Got lost!
-Your face!

Sorry

I have it in my home.

Considering an average person's
memory power,

It's hard to remember faces other
than those of your parents.

I didn't want to forget your face

That's why I stole that
banner for myself

Please forgive me

And about the thanks...

Who do you think you're favoring?

If you had talked when
Dharma was hitting me,

At least my reputation
would've been intact.

My face cannot show
expressions properly...

You thought I was angry?

I wasn't...

Just upset

When you do love me,

What's your problem saying it aloud?

A dark guy like loving
a fair girl like you,

Even friends would make fun of me...

One guy says Black & White,

One guy says Gulab Jamun Rasagulla,

And some say, "In your dreams bit..."

Sorry...

I shouldn't be swearing
in front of girls

Everybody starts showing
extreme sarcasm...

Considering my confidence levels,

All this is not happening

What am I to do then?

I'll just stay far away...

And look at you from a distance.

My life...

is just like that street light there,

or a bulb in some cinema theater...

It just exists.

There is no light.

It isn't even in my control

I don't want your sympathies...

That's why I avoided meeting you...

I want to see you over there...

I must look at you from here

You please stay there.

That's all.. nothing mor-

I love you.

True

I love you

If you like me too,

Lets meet at the beach like you wanted

This Sunday

Come to Peddapatnam beach

Sharp 10 AM

Take your time & think about it

You found a nice spot...

What are you doing?

You're cleaning that place for me?

We're at the beach.
It's already sand...

Sorry sorry...

It's alright

What are you looking at?

I just realised something...

I finally get why poets romanticize
the Sea & the skies...

-Ya...
-Just wow...

-You seem to be busy. I'll go...
-Sorry sorry.. Please stay

Tell me...

What?

I need to say something first right...

Right...

What's your full name?

Indukuri Deepthi

Aitham Jaya Krishna

Jaya Krishna...

Tell me about your family

Me,

-My dad,
-Hang on... hang on...

I had to drive all the way here...

-Do you mind walking for a bit...?
-No no... Lets...

What were we talking about...?

Ya...

Me,

My dad,

My Lakshmi

Two buffaloes,

And one cow.

Who's Lakshmi?

My pet calf...

My mother passed away in 1992

I named the calf Lakshmi
in her memory...

Oh...

It's alright

Do you resemble your mother?

I would have been beautiful
if that was the case...

Was your mother so beautiful?

She was...

Hmmm... Alright...

Describe how beautiful your mother is,

Without any poetic comparisons
with the sky or sea...

Imagine you're crying...

but suddenly burst out
laughing for a joke I told,

That's how beautiful she was

Comparison with a woman's smile...

Is routine!

Even so,

It's the second most purest
thing in the world

What's the first then?

A man's tears...

If you don't mind,

I need to ask you something...

Come on... Can you please stop
being so formal?

Only after the wedding...

Oh I see...

Alright...

Do you really love me?

Wait a minute.
What did you think I meant?

Why did I come so far
if I didn't love you...

Sorry sorry... Calm down...

Anyway,

Do you love me?

Please don't even ask
something like that...

It's not right.
Don't ever say that.

Just one more thing...

So now we know that
we love each other,

I thought we need to have a small rule,

What's that?

Let's not tell anybody else
that we love each other.

Why so?

The whole college thinks you're
as beautiful as a movie star.

People even say that you deserve a husband
as handsome as Akkineni Nagarjuna

If those people find out, then everyone
will think they have a chance.....

I mean... That's the way
people think...

Why?

Can't you tell them to back off?

Are you a coward?

I can probably explain to
a couple of people,

We are sitting among a herd
of mindless sheep,

Going against them will only lead
to a useless stampede...

It's better to just let them be.....

What if someone says something after we're married...

Will you leave me?

Actually...

After college, when I get a good job,

Getting married then,

Would not attract
so much negativity...

Alright...

Since this is the first
thing you asked of me...

I will agree to this

So...

Would you have agreed to
anything I asked?

Didn't you just say
"Only after marriage"?

You're a real secret player man...

Look at you blushing...

See you later then...

And BTW,

Don't keep showing up at my
uncle's place like that....

What if somebody sees us?

"Don't talk in college"
"Don't come to my place"

How the hell are we
supposed to talk then?

She's angry... Ok.

If we want something with all our heart,

It will definitely find a way to us...

Tomorrow afternoon...

Sharp at 1 O'Clock

Window...

Don't forget

Where's your dad?

Gone to get fodder

Come on... Don't be shy...

I'm scared...

You'll be fine... Don't worry...

Why's the buffalo's baby
tied over here?

Sit down

This is not a buffalo.

Its a cow.

This cow's calf in fact...

Black cat, Black cobra, Black crow,

Black always signifies bad
for some reason

But the only being that's worshipped
because it's black,

Is this cow...

This is my Lakshmi.

This little bit is our field

My mother used to go and sell
this corn in the market

Those were her savings

You know the popular expression,

"Money doesn't grow on trees"

It does in our house

We are very rich

My mother

She observes all our goings
& doings everyday

If we ever forget to eat
food or something...

She gets angry

You have her exact eyes

This is my small kingdom

Our house burned down in a
freak fire a few years ago.

Dad & I managed to put up this
hut just for the both of us

This house only has
place for two people

I always thought

This place will be crowded when
a third person entered...

But now I know...

How beautiful it will become

You're the queen here now

You're fine with this?

Hello Mr Bala Yesu...

Yes.. Hello...

You're dad isn't here?

No... why?

Exactly what I want

I need a nice colour photo clicked

Passport 20rs, full photo 40rs

Come back after 4 days
to pick them up...

I'm too busy right now...

Yo Balu... I smell something
burning man...

It's from inside my pant man!
Get lost!

What happened man?

I will kill you. Just get lost!

What's your problem man?

I will F... F... F...

Oh my god promise...

F...?

F...?

I will Finish you!

Go roam around with her

Oho...

You had to use my home to stalk her?

You dirty cheat!

Listen Balu....

Lets discuss it over a soda

How did you find out man?

Did you see something
at the cinema hall?

That means you're going
to movies together?

Is this a two-sided affair?

I shouldn't have said that...

Did you see something at the beach?

Beach?

You don't have the guts
to skip class with me...

You went to the beach with her?

How else did you find out?

I took your book home instead
of mine yesterday...

So?

First page of a guy's book can
tell you his name

But the last page of a guy's book
will tell you the name of his lover.

Aren't you even a little embarrassed?

Just to achieve 'M' in flames,

You almost shredded your name

"Jaya" It seems...

Jai... Krish...

Nonsense

You son of sea...

Don't be like that dude...

I thought people would make fun
of us if they found out...

That's why we have this privacy rule.

What's the point if she's so shy?

Why is she already trying
to control you?

No no... The rules were mine.

I don't want to inconvenience her...

Fine... But when are you introducing
her to me?

Dude she's your neighbour man!

But her mom & mine have
an ongoing rivalry...

Their god is shepherd of Gokul

And our god is the shepherd
of Jerusalem

But don't both your houses
eat lambs on Sundays?

That's what I keep telling them.
But no one listens...

So much ego man...

Neither of us is ready to let it go...

When are you introducing
her to me?

Why are you so excited
for this dude?

Imagine the most beautiful girl
in the college

Thinks of me as her brother
& friend.

Now wouldn't that be something...

BTW... I almost forgot...

She has an older brother.
His name is Ramaraju

He might look decent on the outside
But he is rotten to his core...

As if that wasn't enough,

This new movie called 'Hitler'

Has dredged up a lot of
brotherly emotions

If they do find out about
your affair,

That'll be you...

Aaah... Well she said that's
gonna be her problem...

I'll bring her to meet
you next Sunday.

Ok... I'll click your picture...

-It's free for you...
-Thanks man!

Listen,

This is the first picture you're
clicking for me....

It is.. isn't it..?

Make sure it's good.

Don't worry. I'll rock it.

Lift it up a little...

Not so much.. Down down...

Ya.. Smile

1... 2... 3...

Why did it black out?

Didn't you say you smelled
something burning earlier?

That was this light

What about the photo?

I'll take care of that. No problem.

You sure?

Fine

Hello... Over.

Hello... Can you hear me? Over.

Yes tell me. Over.

Lets meet at the bridge this Sunday

I'll introduce my friend
Yesu to you. Over.

Wait... what?

Didn't you say we had
to keep it a secret? Over!

He found out about us anyway...

I got caught...

It's alright.

He's my best friend. Over.

Oh my Kodak camera!

What a setup! Over! Oh crap!

"We" will come?

Who the hell is "We"? Over.

Me and my friend. Over.

Aaargh! Didn't I ask you
not to tell anyone?

You girls...

Are too Over!

Hey! Don't scold me!

She found out on her own too...

Don't overact. Over!

Oh.. You too...?

Over

Can you see how many fingers?

I will whack you...

Don't make lame jokes. I lost my specs....

This is a nice place you found man...

The milk guy must know every road.

Did you bring my photo?

What's the photo for?

She wanted a photo of mine
to keep in her book.

She may also need to show
it to her parents...

This one is good for the books.

We'll plan another picture
for her parents...

I'll get you ready and
click another one.

Lemme see this one...

They're here.

Come lets go

Style?

What are the glasses for?

These glasses make the one we love
appear even more beautiful

Oh wow! Now tell the truth.

Did you see how fair she is?

-Yes yes...
-She's shining a lot more under the sun.

Now once I put on these specs,

Her color goes down,

My confidence levels grow up!

What rubbish

Lemme see...

Balu this is Yesu... Pch...

-Deepthi, this is Balu.
-Hi

-I am Bala Yesu.
-Hi Mr Balu

Child Christ...

-Hi..
-Hello...

Hi...

One minute...

Come here

What is it?

I think I like that Padma dude!

-Hey!
-Why?

Why is it wrong only for me?

It's not that...

I get it..

This is because I am fat right?

No no, No way!

I mean.. Yes.. That's why...

Is that all?

Technology is so advanced now...

Someone will copy blood donation
& create fat donation.

I will then donate my fat to her

Then we will become made
for each other

So you will never reduce weight...

No chance!

My mom thinks I'm handsome
just the way I am...

Fine... What do we do now?

Give us space to talk
privately for a bit...

Hey!

We just met her.

She will whack us both if we
ask to speak privately...

Then lets do one thing,

You both go speak privately,

Then I can be alone with her here...

Dude!

Come lets go...

-Can we go over there to talk?
-Alright

Take care paddu...

Ms Padma...

Please come.. Take a bridge...

Come...

Near Nobel college...

You?

Ya...

Is it?

'Twas the year 1996,

Just like the beginning of
a hit Rom-com movie,

I used to keep getting letters...

She doesn't know how I look,

I don't know how she looks...

We fell in love with each
other's love letters...

Whenever my parents were out of town,

She'd write that she wanted
to come home.

I used to clean the house
and wait for her.

-But she never came.
-Why?

This same thing happened
a few more times...

Then finally one day I got it,

It was my dad writing
those letters to me...

He wanted me to clean up the house
when they were out of town.

None of us really know....

What else is new?

-I have to show you something...
-Me too...

You go first...

Few more jokes and she will be mine...

Actually, one day at the church...

Wait.. Hang on...

Someone died...

So sad.. isn't it?

Wait a sec!

It's a body... Someone died...

Body?

Wonder what Balu is going
through right now...

Mr Bala Yesu...

Balu...

Ok... Show me now...

You asked me for a photo right...

I thought I had it with me..

-I think I forgot it...
-oh no....

Don't worry about it...

Now my turn to show you something...

Know what it is?

Did you get a tattoo done?

Calm down... Why are you shouting?

I really wanted to do this...

My god...

What's the need for this stupidity?

Isn't it good?

What good is there in this..?

-Shouldn't have gotten the tattoo done..
-Why are you angry with me now?

I'll talk to you later...

Balu... Balu...

Balu... Hey!

What....?! Done already?

Nothing's done... Lets just go.

-She got a tattoo man!
-Tattoo?

Tattoo?

Deepthi... Bye!

Padma... Bye!

Are you coming or should I
say bye to you too?

Bye...

From that day we didn't go
way out of town to meet.

Because we now had two amazing
people standing guard for us...

Are you still mad at me?

I'm not mad at you...

What if your parents find out?

Who's gonna check there?

The only one who gets to see it

is my husband

Just one more year...

We'll pass out with good marks

I'll get a nice job,

Come home and talk to your parents

Kannayya...

Stop being so formal please...

It will take some time...

Are you scared?

Ya...

Ok... I'll perform some
magic for you...

What's that?

I'll guess what you're thinking

Really?

Ok.. Think of a number

Subtract that number from itself

Add two to it...

You're thinking 2!

Wow...

You haven't yet given me your photo

Day after,

A foreign guy called Don Bosco

is visiting our college

And that event will be telecast on TV

What am I asking and what're
you talking about?

Someone has to introduce him onstage

Remember when the principal said,

He'd do something for me...

Are you going to be on TV?

Really?

You wait, I'll show it to
everyone at home...

and hype you up to my parents

The speech has to be in English

I'll write it for you. Prepare well.

You have to steal the show tomorrow...

Time for class... Lets go.

I want that Siti cable fellow here
within half an hour

Good morning sir.

Hi Krishna...

You're still here. Go sit down.

You said I could speak on
stage at the next event

I'll introduce the guest sir...

Oh...

This program is for students
scoring above 70%

I scored 76% in the second year sir...

Oh.. Nice...

I'll give you a chance at the next event

Sir.. Sir..

Just give me one chance...

I will speak well.

Look,

We were selected out of 40 colleges

This program will be on TV

The stage needs to look beautiful.

First impression is the
best impression

You know that too...

We'll try the next time

Come on.. Mr 76%

Program's about to start...

Hello all...

That's the only thing he
knows in Telugu

Just shut it you idiots...

I can speak Telugu

Like hell you do!

Who'll respect engineers if there's
one in every house? Bozo.

What the hell am I expecting from you?

-Let it go..
-Oh yes.. My promise...

Dude...

Don't be like this.
You know he is an idiot!

Weren't you insulted enough already?

-He is an idiot...
-So?

He must be made to feel like one.

Two years ago...

They were taking photos for
the college magazine

I went and stood there too...

The cameraman pushed me away

and picked two other guy and girls.

He gave them each a bunch of books
and took their pictures.

You know why I wasn't in it?

Because I'm black.

What are you laughing at?

Is this a joke to you?

This...

Exactly this is why...

Our lives are this way now...

I wanted to speak on stage earlier,

I heard something

"First impression is the best impression"

Dunno which idiot wrote this line...

But he needs to be punched in the face.

People judging your behavior
on first impression,

Can still be excused

But those judging people
by their skin colour,

need to be handed a hard beating

Because... Engineers are the future!

That was a masterstroke!

Imagine if instead of this guy
we had a Neg-

If he was a black guy?

There wouldn't be much of a difference

Status & money

Are these the only things
deserving respect?

What shitty lives man!

"Because, Engineers are the future!"

It's not even our fault

This was passed down by our ancestors

If someone said,

that your baby will be born white
if you carry it for 18 months...

There are mothers willing
to wait that long.

That's the society we live in.

200 years ago,

The British came and conquered us

Gifted us the heinous mindset that,

"Whites are the rulers" &
Everyone else is beneath them...

Imagine if the invading foreigners
were black people...

And he applied the same idea in reverse

Would we still fight over
the same things?

"BECAUSE...!"

ENGINEERS ARE THE FUTURE!

Wow! Superb!

Krishna just rocked it...

You're way too excited about this...

Of course I am...

But then, Wasn't the principal
pissed?

Pissed? He was furious!

That act just highlighted Krishna

If the principal punished him for it,

He'd have turned into a hero...

That's true too...

You know how most people are

Doesn't matter even if it harms us...

We cannot digest someone
else taking the limelight

That's why

He waited for a worthy day..

That's when my Birthday came along

Did the computer batch go to their labs?

I'm giving a huge birthday
surprise to Deepthi

Even her husband cannot
give something like this...

Happy birthday.

Thank you

-Principal sir...
-Principal sir...

-Principal sir... Hey.
-Sir Principal sir...

Call the principal dude...

Sorry...

No no.. This isn't your fault.

Please don't cry...

You mustn’t cry on your birthday

You.. hero...

What should we do?

Sir... These two did a huge mistake...

-Will you shut it?
-No I won't

Why should I?

That day when I was talking
with my girlfriend

You humiliated me in front of everyone.

These two deserve the exact
same punishment.

Sir.. He's a child...

He did a mistake. Please forgive him

Sir...

Everyone's a child at home

We are the ones who witness
their heroism, romance & fights...

We know their actual colours...

Your son is running a love story here...

Sir please don't call this rubbish love

Love is a common thing in college

If this was actually love,

This guy getting that girl

Would have made waves in the college

Not a single person in the college
knows anything about them...

You can even call a couple of
their friends and ask...

No way sir...

We know him from the
fight that happened,

Apart from that, these two
are not even friends

He's my best friend sir..

I don't even know that girl's name...

There is no chance he knows her...

Sir don't you see it?

These two are doing unwanted
activities in the campus

That's why they're keeping
it a secret...

Pretending to be lovers after
they got caught

Immoral acts sir....

They are always done in secret.

What immoral acts are
you talking about?

Son... Stop it!

How dare you hit another
student in front of me!

Sir... He made a mistake...

Please excuse him...

No way!

I'm going to kick you out
of the college...

I will see how you will
study after this...

Hey... Stop it!

I don't want to ever see
your face again.

Bloody childish nonsense...

Let's go.

-Brother....
-Let's go

Get out!

Out!

-If you marry someone like him,

-Your children will be
born black too...

-Why didn't you think about that when
you married your husband?

-I sent you to your brother's
for your studies,

-But you've gotten completely
out of hand...

-I came here for your birthday...

-And this is what I find out...

-I wonder what goes on here normally...

-Thank god, your father doesn't
know about this...

-Who the hell called you here?
Did I?

-Don't throw my reputation out the door,
Come inside

-No!

Why don't you go and stop them.

-If it's so embarrassing, maybe I
should leave you people now...

Is this the rubbish you've been
teaching her everyday?

I'm watching...

I'm observing everything...

If you marry him, we'll
all hang and die...

You want to die for me...
He wants to die for me...

Your threat reeks of pride & prestige...

His words are filled with love.

Which is greater? Pride or love?

Tell me...

Which is greater? Pride or Love?

Go inside the house now!

I will not!

You!

Pack her bags.

Where to?

Vijayawada

Preparation holidays...

-I don't want to see your face
in this college again!

Poor thing

How will she live alone?
So far away...

No problem

I have some important things
to take care of here...

Let her stay there until then

What are you planning?

I'm going to find a handsome
husband for my sister.

She will give birth to a daughter

I will marry her to my son

I couldn't have it...

At least my next generation
should be born beautiful

That is my only responsibility...

What is the point of making
all these plans...?

Everything is destined at birth.

You know what I was up to
the year you were born?

I was studying 7th...

So god had no clue what destiny
to write for me until then?

Never allow your destiny to be
written by someone else...

Mr Ramesh...

I was just waiting for your call...

Did you arrange the liquor
and special biryani?

Ready sir...

That guy is sitting alone outside
his house and drinking...

Oh no... He mustn't drink
alone like that...

Bring him too...

Sir...?

What did you think preparation
holidays were for?

This is what it is...

You just bring him soon...

Girl... That's enough of that...

Go get my white shirt...

Why do want to wear a white
shirt with all that henna on the hair?

Important jobs need to have a
proper dress code...

Weird...

This is Aakashavani...

Ramaraju is going to serve
hot special Biryani...

"Sir, why are you hitting me like this?"

"What is my crime?"

"I don't understand what's going on..."

Don't insult me by asking these
routine questions...

I didn't plan to run away or
elope with Deepthi...

I was going to study well,

get a job,

And then come ask you for her hand

Oh you want to study is it...?

You want to marry my sister?

Is it?

Ramesh...

Then start studying afresh
from the beginning again...

Sir sir sir... My education...
Please don't sir...

Please sir...

Sir sir sir... please sir...
Don't ruin my life sir...

Sir please stop it sir...

Let it burn properly...

Sir... Please sir...

You were saying something earlier...

Repeat it for me

Why do you hate me so much?

Why indeed...?

Try to become white without
the help of this powder...

Then I'll happily give
my sister to you...

This coming from you is unfair sir...

Oh is it...?

Before I took birth,

If god gave an option to be
Black or white...

I'd choose white.

But he didn't let me choose.

But I have the chance to
select my Brother-in-law

So why would I choose a worthless
mongrel like you..?

Ok leave it.

Can you at least,

afford to buy minimum luxuries
for my sister's child?

I will...

Colour might be important
for love or marriage...

But colour is not important
for sustaining a family

I'm tired of hearing the
same dialogue every time...

-Sir..
-yes sir...

Bring that Biryani we prepared

Feed him and send him away...

Us cops are very kind-hearted...

We always feed you after a beating

I haven't mixed anything in it...

Eat up...

Mr Ramesh...

Is it dry yet?

It'll take some more time...

So we do have some time to waste...

Since you're eating anyway

Let me tell you a nice story

I wanted to feed you tasty Biryani

We found a juicy goat...

It was this big

We turned it over

and started cutting it's throat

That's when it started to cry...

I'm sensitive by nature...

I went in close to it and said,

Oh your poor goat,

and asked what it's last wish was...

To which it tearfully replied...

"I'm not a goat sir..."

"I'm a calf"

And said,

"My name is Lakshmi..."

Hey...

You're done for the day

Get lost

Go!

Hey!

I read in a newspaper yesterday

Eating human flesh

is supposed to activate
supernatural powers...

If I hear you talk about

Love, Marriage or any other
nonsense like that...

Take a guess whose meat you'll
be eating next time...

Come dear... Sit down

Have some coffee

Congratulations

We found a groom from America.

Six figure salary,

Your life is set now

I called his dad for lunch today

He asked for some betel leaves
after eating

You know I'm a nice guy...

So I also offered your hand
in marriage

Sir, she is quite tall.

How tall is the groom?

Height?

Mr Ramesh,

What was that Salman Khan song
we were watching?

"Oh Oh Jaane jaana..."

Correct sir.

He looks exactly like that

Huge chiseled arms

Super sir

Big chiseled biceps,

dimple on the chin when he smiles,

Wavy hair,

And being able to bend
and touch ones toes

These are the things we
think are beautiful

Stop doing that and maybe
our lives will improve.

Marriages are not sustained by
biceps and skin tones

You need a heart.

Mr Ramesh,

We broke someone's hand.
What's his name?

Abhi... Abhiram sir...

He was telling the same rubbish...

Heart is greater, Love is greater...

Nonsense...

But he was right sir...

Mr Pawan

I'm going to ask you a question

Think hard before you answer

Someone you deeply loved is dead.

You're crying next to their body.

Suddenly a Tiger enters,

What will you do?

I'll run away sir...

Now tell me...

Which is greater? Love or Fear.

Fear sir

Tell me...

Which is greater? Love or Fear.

Someone asked for betel leaves and
gave them a surprise gift

Won't you give me something
for my birthday?

Tell me what you want...

Hall ticket.

I want to write my exams

Deepthi Indukuri, Computer science.

Jaya-He

Jaya-he

Jaya-he

Why aren't you worried about
a cigarette sir?

People are on the terrace... Smoking.

You know how harmful they
are to humans

Only Krishna above can know.

Let's go in the evening.

We will catch someone soon....

Please give me my Hall ticket sir...

I need to use the washroom.

Hello sir...

Hello.. Hello... Hello

What's your friend up to nowadays?

He took a severe beating,
He's just resting for a bit

Why do I feel that you're
hiding something?

Then come see my Fa-

Look at my face. Do you really think
I can do that?

Sir you know me...

I'm a nice guy

Did my brother do this?

I'm so sorry...
All this is happening because of me...

Forget about all that...

I've made all the arrangements

We are going to fool your brother
and run away...

But the police...?

Seniors to Juniors,

Lecturers to workers,

The entire college is supporting us...

What do you mean?

Don't they all hate you?

Can you trust them?

Deepu...

People everywhere are scared of
all kinds of snakes

Even that snake is worshipped
on day every year,

The festival of 'Nagula Chavithi'

Today is that day for us...

What is the process to join the department?

Balu...

Sir...

Sometimes when you're
angry on someone,

And you can't take it out on them...

We break things or walls
within our reach

From now, you're my wall...

If anything goes wrong...

I'm not your wall sir... I am Jamba

Jamba?

What's that?

Jambavan from Ramayana sir...

I gave my word to my Hanuman.

If ever you're in any trouble

The entire Monkey army shall
stand behind you,

and beat the sticks out of anyone...

Monkey Army?

What's that?

Just one more hour from now,

I need not be formal
with you anymore...

Silence

There will be time
for whistles later...

What do you think of students?

An ID card, a pen in the pocket,
a notebook in hand,

Shirt, Pant,

Socks, shoes this isn't what
a student is about.

Every student has a heart.

That heart wants someone

That heart can only marry
the one it wants...

You cannot simply force
it to do as you wish...

You can clap now!

We're in 1999 now

Even in this day and age,

You're in a position to obsess
about colour & caste...

Our Superstar's son recently
entered movies,

Cute guy, looks like an apple

Mahesh Babu...

You think you're as fair as
Mahesh Babu?

There really isn't much of a
difference between us.

You're a 3.5

I'm a 3.75

I'm at 4

If colour really is that
big a deal for you...

First take a look at
yourself in the mirror...

If you still haven't figured it out,

Go look at your wedding photos

But I'm not going to come
down to your level.

Sir, What I'm saying is,

We come into this world already loved,

We seek out another love
once we grow up...

If we ever have to choose
between the two,

What we choose
determines our future...

Your sister chose me...

So to prove that her selection is
absolutely right,

I'm taking her away

Nope...

We are eloping.

Monkey Army Take guard!

Super sister!

What happened after that?

What do you think?
Now I'm happily married...

Also FYI,

I'm 4 months pregnant.

Winning brings us happiness!

Losing gives us experience.

When someone loses, they are in
a position to see

How close they came to success.

If only they'd tried harder...

And then there are those...

whose tears have dried up...

I do not wish that you come to that...

Let's go...

I understand the meaning of life now

Now watch me...

Watch how I win for her...

Happy journey

For now & ever!

-Thank you...
-All the best then...

Take care of her...

Bye...

-Bye...
-Bye

Lets go...

Wasn't that the climax
scene of 'Nuvvu Nenu'?

I dunno... Don't think it
released in US...

Even so...

Some story you made up,

I badly wanted to believe
that was true.

Look, what they need right now,

isn't financial or family support,

They need moral support

That's why I did that...

Everybody coming together in the end

and helping one guy succeed
only happens in stories...

If there was a chance of it happening,

Kannayya would have won that day

That's why...

I've been re-writing his story with
happy endings these 6 years....

I told them one of those today...

Well, it was a good story...

The actual truth is unbearable...

Please don't cry...

I feel like crying too...

Sit down...

How did this happen?

Talk about Love, Marriage and
all that crap again,

Think about whose meat you might
get to eat next time...

I don't care that you burned
my certificates...

I'm ready to hard manual labor to take
care of your sister...

Lift him up!

Forget about Al that...

How have you been?

They hid me away in Vijayawada

My brother's friend is a scoundrel

He touched me whenever he wanted...

One day while I was sleeping,

He tried to kiss me while I was sleeping

When I told my mom about this,

She thought it was a ploy
to come back home.

She asked me not to lie
about such things...

She said my brother would kill
me if he found out...

I'm sorry...

Why?

I wanted to study

Get a job and build a life with you..

He snatched my education from me

I could have relied on myself
and found my legs somehow

He broke my leg too...

He even snatched away
my dear Lakshmi...

Every time I tried to fight back,

Situations have been beating
me down harder...

I don't think I can fight anymore

We have so many friends,

No one came forward to help?

I asked them.

They said, if I loved
someone in my range,

I wouldn't have to face all this...

They advised me to forget you...

People love the moon all year round.

But it is hated on
Vinayaka Chavithi

That's what my life has become

Nothing is more horrible being unable
to do even simple daily tasks....

Just one more year later,

I was going to take care
of my dad like a king.

But now he has to help me
up to the toilet,

A grown adult son,

Should be the crown on his
father's head

Not a burden to him.

I want to kill myself at this point

What shall we do now?

We come into this world already loved,

We seek out another love
once we grow up...

If we ever have to choose
between the two,

That choice determines our future...

If colour really is that
big a deal for you...

First take a look at
yourself in the mirror...

If you still don't get it,

Go look at your wedding photos

To prove that my selection is
absolutely right,

I'm running away.

Sorry... I'm eloping.

No... She's a kid...

I'll talk to her.

We're about to die in 5 minutes

Only criminals about to be hanged and
us know this feeling

What's your last wish?

I want to smoke

It'll ruin your health

If you remember, we drank
poison 5 minutes ago.

What's your last wish?

Last wish...

I saw this in a few movies,

Just when the hero or heroine
is about to die,

They put their head on the other's lap

and have a sudden revelation.
Something completely new...

Ok, let me go first.

Come on...

No... You first.

I'm smoking.

Ok.

Just because it's your last wish

Something new...

Do you know how I saw you
for the first time?

How?

You were dancing

I saw you dressed as the goddess.

Love at first sight...

Normally, when there's love
at first sight,

I starts off as attraction or lust

We desire that beauty...

That slowly turns into love...

But the first thing I felt
when I saw you,

Was devotion.

The purest relation in the world,

is devotion

We might scold our friends or
even our parents some time...

But you cannot bring yourself
to scold god.

Devotion has no negatives

Just Love,

Trust,

and fear.

Love towards you,

Trusting that you will be mine,

Fear of losing you.

All three things began at the
same time for me.

With that belief,

I thought I can win you over. But....

We're in the year 1999,

Even today, beauty is measured in
terms of colour.

Status is measured in caste.

If my daughter is born
with my colour

Let her be of my caste,

When she grows to be as old as me now,

I mean in 2020.

She should be loved
for who she is...

But not for her beauty.

You know I hate sympathy...

But now,

Everybody is showering me with sympathy

That day in the bus stop,

I shouldn't have used the
word 'Handicapped'...

Tell me the truth,

You too loved me out of
sympathy didn't you?

You're done?

Can I talk now?

Why didn't you ever tell me about
this love at first sight?

Do you know when I fell for you?

Just like how you saw me...

I saw you just the same way

Even today, that's how I look at you!

Why do you think it's sympathy?

I like your smile...

I like the way you talk...

I like your voice,

You're a handsome guy man...

When there's so much about you to love,

Why would I have sympathy?

Come on answer me...

Kannayya...

Kannayya...

Get up...

Kannayya...

Kannayya get up

It was never sympathy,

Hear just this one thing please,

Kannayya...

Get up Kannayya...

I'm feeling Dizzy...

Get up please...

Please get up...

Please Kannayya

Sir... Please don't

I really don't know where he is.

I told you already,

You're my wall.

Bloody rascal!

Give me the keys.

I know what to do with you

Deepu!

Deepu!

Deepu!

Ramesh!

Kittu get up man!

You know, I'm scared of dead bodies...

Kittu please!

Everyone has 4 friends in life,

I have only you Balu...

Uncle, it's time.

We need to cremate him
while it is still light...

Its just the two of us...

How do we take him there?

You M***********

I can't imagine the pain you felt.

I worked for the railways before
Kittu was born...

I worked as a train engine driver...

On that job, every other day,

People committed suicide by jumping
in front of the train...

I used to blare the horn!

I used to beg them not to do this...

They would still get
crushed underneath,

There are about 1500 people in a
Train normally,

But I was the only one who knew there
was a dead body beneath us...

I used to weep, all alone,
in the engine room.

Poor souls...

That's why...

I left that job after kittu was born

Death is unstoppable.

This is a fact.

Everybody dies...

However, Kittu unfortunately,

went a little early... That's all...

Do you have at least
one photo of him?

I don't have even one.

I don't my dear...

We lost them all in a fire accident

Kittu jumped in and saved his mother's
photo along with his certificates

He seems to have misplaced
the certificates too...

Please uncle...

Just one..

I don't have any my dear...

That's the truth

I will go now...

You must have a garlanded photo
to remember him by...

I'll return it back in the
morning, please...

I'll just go get it...

I'll bring it back right away...

What happened to Balu?

He was driven mad that same day...

He's in an institution...

-Come. Come here...
-Hey

Wow!

So this is Jaya Krishna...

Finally! Nice to meet you bro...

Dark & handsome like Lord Krishna

He was good looking.

He was.. wasn't he..?

He died because he didn't get
the support he needed...

But he is now an inspiration
to a couple of lovers...

He doesn't have a single
photo in his own home...

But he has a beautiful painting
of him in America.

Wow...

Jaya Krishna...

I'm so jealous of you man...

I love you too...

You didn't have a photo

How did you finish it finally?

His eyes are exactly
like his mother's...

All said and done,

The painting is amazing.

This is not a painting.

This is Jaya Krishna's Colour Photo.
